Program Notes
Becoming a Knight portrays the stages that young men had to endure to become knights. The beginning of the journey describes the young warrior getting ready to prove himself in battle. The middle section narrates the dubbing ceremony, the moment he takes an oath to protect the king and the church. The final section is a variation of the first theme, here the warrior returns to battle with a noble character–he is now a (real) knight.
Becoming a Knight is an action-driven piece that will capture your students’ and the audience’s imagination with its ponderous and cinematic sound.
